Did you read today?
"Resolve to edge in a little reading every day,
if it is but a single sentence.
If you gain fifteen minutes a day,
it will make itself felt at the end of the year."
-Horace Mann

The book to read is not the one that thinks for you,
but the one that makes you think.

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought
and the thought has found words.

Change in Regular Routine
If there is a change in how your child gets home in the afternoon, always send a note to the teacher on the day that your plans change from the regular routine. Any call to the school office regarding change of plans on how your child goes home must be made PRIOR TO 1:00 P.M. on the day of the change. We will always let children use the phone to call a parent if they are unsure of what to do. |

It doesn't matter where it's going;
what matters is, deciding to get on."
